User Defined Functions

Within the new Formula Editor it is now possible to create user defined functions for a report. These functions can be used in other formulas in the report without further configuration because they are saved within the report. They are written in one of the formula languages of i-net Clear Reports.

Problem Finder

Version 11 of the i-net Designer contains the new feature "Problem Finder". It will help you to identify potential "gotchas" and problems in the design of the report, e.g. unused formula fields. If it is enabled (e.g. via the button on the right of the main toolbar), then it will appear in the lower left corner of the i-net Designer.
